What's Happening Now!!: Season 1

What's Happening Now!! is one of my favorite TV shows, with most of its original cast from the What's Happening!! show back in 1976-1979. What's Happining Now!! ran from September 7th, 1985 until September 3rd, 1988 for a total of Three seasons and 66 episodes (22 episodes for each season).In this season Raj was newly married and trying to make it as a writer. Raj and Nadine, who were living in the house he had grown up in, took in a foster child named Caroline for a time. Rerun & Dwayne, now a used car salesman and a computer programmer, respectively, were sharing an apartment. Shirley and Raj were also partners running Rob's, and Dee (who only showed up occasionally) was in college.The cast for this show were:-Reina King..........Carolyn(1985-1986)-Shirley Hemphill....Shirley Wilson-Martin Lawrence.....Maurice Warfield(1987-1988)-Ernest Thomas.......Roger"Raj"Thomas-Anne-Marie Johnson..Nadine Hudson Thomas-Ken Sagoes..........Darryl(1987-1988)-Fred Berry..........Freddie"Rerun"Stubbs(1985-1986)-Danielle Spencer....Dee ThomasThe first season consisted of 22 episodes and they are as follows:01- Raj Returns02- A Horse is Not a Home03- Dwayne's Crush04- The Houseguest05- One Enchanted Evening06- Aunt Shirley07- The New Kid08- The Bully09- That Old Gang of Mine10- Dueling Menus11- Dee's Dilemma12- Raj on the Run13- The Challenge14- Married or Not15- The Improbable Dream16- Rags to Riches17- Goodbye, Mr. Ripps18- Dee and Dwayne19- Mr. First Nighter20- Shirley's Pen Pal21- Nadine's Boss22- The WeddingI hope that the following two seasons will be released shortly after this season.Thanks for reading my review and have a nice day :)

As a kid, WHAT'S HAPPENING! was one of my favorite most memorable of comedies ( which is why I own the complete series). When WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW!! came to television, I was excited to see the original cast again. Though the writing was not as funny and memorable as it's predecessor, it still was fun to watch.Now as far as this DVD box set goes for Season 1, SONY Pictures Home Entertainment made one major mistake. On Disc 3's Main Screen, they have a picture of Fred Berry ("Rerun") in the center, with both Martin Lawrence ("Maurice") and Ken Sagoes ("Darryl") on the sides in the background. Martin and Ken didn't join the cast until the third and final Season of the show...and by that time, Rerun had already left the show. And for everyone that's been begging for SONY to release Seasons 2 and 3 on DVD...don't hold your breath, SONY's not going to waste their time and money. Season 1 was released in 2007, if they really cared about 2 and 3, it would have already been out. Plus keep in mind...by Season 2, both Fred Berry and Reina King ("Carolyn") left the show, and Season 3 might as well have been called MAURICE & DARRYL because it was primarily centered around Lawrence and Sagoes's characters. Season 1 is the ONLY Season to showcase the 5 original WHAT'S HAPPENING! characters (Raj, Rerun, Dwayne, Shirley and Dee). So enjoy it for what it's worth.

Originally I had just season 1 of What's Happening. It stayed in the DVD case for quite sometime before my 10-year-old daughter decided to watch it, but once she started she couldn't stop. She truly likes the show and asked if there were other seasons. Since then, we have bought all the seasons that are available. Currently, we are looking to buy What's Happening Now season 2 and 3, but we can't seem to find them to purchase.If you have children or if you just want to relive the early 80s, this is the DVD collection that will take you back and have you and the rest of the family smiling and laughing. It's clean fun entertainment. I feel like I'm apart of their family. The good ol' days.

I rented this entire season form blockbuster and I love it. However I am sad because I had to give the dvds back since they where rented,however I will be buying my own copy. If you love the 80's like me you must have this. I own and love the original whats happening so naturally I knew I had to see whats happening now,this is just as funny and entertaining. I love shirley Hemphill she is so funny and a pleasure to watch may god rest her soul. The entire cast are great and funny, I really miss show's like this.

Just wondering if anyone else noticed that Disc 3 of this set has a menu background picture of Rerun and two of the cast members(including Martin Lawrence) that only appeared during season 3 of this reboot.Plus Rerun and Martin never appeared on any episode together so why are they pictured together?Just wondering if anyone else noticed this?

I have the three seasons of what’s happening plus it’s great that they have the first season of “What’s Happening Now” it would be great if they would come out with seasons 2 and 3. So we can complete the collection. So What’s Happening Now.

I bought this for my adopted Uncle Bo who is a huge fan of the original series, "What's Happening". He was very happy to get this for Christmas and watched the whole season in a day or two and continues to rewatch it quite often. You can always hear the opening theme blaring from his room when he puts it on. I've never watched either series, but based on his satisfaction, I would have to recomend it.

This is the spinoff of " Whats happening" and Now the boys are all grown up now...and raj is married. If you liked the original show, you will like the spinoff just as much!!

Nostalgic!. Comeback.

Great delivery. Enjoying very much

前作What's Happeningを楽しく見させてもらったのですが、正直、こちらの方がさらに上をいく面白さ。とにかく笑える。新しいキャストもとてもいいと思いますし、三人の大人になった姿もまた新鮮で最高でした。が、星が３つの理由はこのシーズンの何話かの内容が、Three's Companyのそれと酷似しているからです。時代的には明らかに後者の方が１０年近く古いので、前者が真似たとなるのですが、真意のほどは定かではありません。ただやはりThree'sは70's sitcomの傑作といわれたものですから、知らないはずはないんですが。。。残念ながらこのＤＶＤにはコメンタリーが入っていないので、その辺の事情を知る事もできません。その分マイナスになりましたが、Three's Company をご覧になった事が無い方はそんな疑問を持つことなく大笑いするのは必至だと思われますので是非どうぞ　このＤＶＤはリージョン１、ＲＣＥ対応ですのでご注意ください
